Simply put, if you are a parent you are already working hard. The difference between a pro and an amateur in any sport is not the amount of work, it’s refining the technique. This is also true in parenting. The objective of these daily email snippets is to provide you with a very short but […]

Week 1 Theme: Key Life Lessons Day 3 Point: The Parent Trap We all feel good after a cranky baby is soothed to sleep with a small smile on his or her face, either because they needed changing, a bottle, nursing, or just to be held. This leads, inevitably, to what I call “The parent trap.” […]

Week 3 Theme: Love Day 5 Point: Gossip Love is not just an act, it’s an attitude and environment. Your home must have an atmosphere of love for any single act of love to take root and blossom. In that vein, you should never talk badly about others even if your children are not around. This […]

Week 1 Theme: Key Life Lessons Day 4 Point: Pass the Salt A common mistake parents make is when they pass the salt. I often see this scene: A child asks an aunt or uncle to pass the salt, and the parent immediately reminds the child, “How do you ask?!” The child forgot to say “please.” […]

Week 3 Theme: Love Day 6 Point: Fun Instead of giving your children entertainment, you should have fun with them. The difference between fun and entertainment is how passive you are. As much as your children might claim they want entertainment, it doesn’t build a deeper relationship. Fun is playing a game together, entertainment is watching […]

Week 1 Theme: Key Life Lessons Day 5 Point: Mantras My wife had to go out of town for a week, so I became Mr. Mom. One time my kids came and gave me the famous line: "We’re bored!" My response: “It’s not my job to solve your problems, it’s my job to help you solve your […]

Week 3 Theme: Love Day 7 Point: Teach & Strengthen Today is for teaching and sharing. Everyone wants to become a better parent, if you have an idea on how to achieve that, then you have a responsibility to share it. When you teach something you believe in, it makes it more real and strengthens […]

Week 1: Key Life Lessons Day 6: Sorry Never lose an opportunity to say sorry in front of your children or spouse. When you fail to admit your own mistakes you have lost a vital opportunity to show your children how to do it. Never lose an opportunity to admit a mistake and never lose an opportunity […]

Week 1 Theme: Key Life Lessons Day 7 Point: Failure Just as we all crave success, we also fear failure. This makes for a strong emotional incentive to deny failure.

Client's Testimonial

Amazing! My husband and I have taken so much useful material from this class. My husband was reluctant at first, but after the first class he was very thankful he gave in. We are so happy we went! I highly recommend it regardless if you are newlyweds or have been married for years. You think you have it all figured out and you come to the seminars for a real dose of real marriage. Rabbi Baars makes the class fun and engaging. All the material is extremely helpful. Take the course…you will not regret it!

Stephen Baars is a very entertaining and educated professional, masterfully delivering sometimes sensitive messages with friendly video clips from movies and commercials to illustrate his points. This class should be required of every married couple who hopes to have a happy and successful relationship.

Excellent as always!

The seminar was very surprising is the exact opposite of what you think you are going to hear. I am looking forward to continuing and uncovering new techniques to resolve communication and relationship glitches. The teacher was very nice and extremely entertaining.

I feel so blessed to have met Rabbi Baars and to have attended both the Bliss & Think Like A Winner seminars

This is really good information and really true…. Pay attention people because the institution of marriage is eroding and that is a sad thing!

I have in the meanwhile not stopped from reading your helpful emails and daily reminders. They have actually got me to change and be positive. I am living testimony of the success and effect that your bliss program has.

Thank you Rabbi – As always you come around and pick up our pieces – We were at the end of our marriage and you showed us it was only the beginning. Thank you again!
